((Here's a nice and long chapter for you all :D))

[Ty's POV]

Doctors have been coming and going as I slip in and out if consciousness. Adam stays by my side until visiting hours are over and I get several other visitors. It's been pretty nice, just sitting here. Ender hasn't come out in a while so, hopefully, he's gone. No one had found out yet that I escaped the asylum and that Adam helped me escape.

That's right. They will, soon.

Welcome back, Ender.

It's good to be back.

[Adam's POV]

The last week has been pretty depressing. Every Monday through Friday, I go to the hospital to be with Ty until the doctors push me out. No one else has come to comfort Ty because I didn't let anyone else know. I couldn't, really. I left my phone at the hotel we stayed at and dropped my wallet on my way to the asylum. As I walk in to Ty's room, I feel a sharp pain where my left eye would have been and instinctively cover it. Ty looks at me concerned.

"You okay, Adam?" As he talked, the pain grew unbearable. I managed to nod, I didn't trust myself to speak. "Are you sure?" That was it. I felt like I was being repeatedly stabbed in the eye with a knife. Maybe it was just ghost limb syndrome*. I stood up, not realizing I had fallen over. Doctors rushed to my side.

"I'm okay. I'm okay..." My eye socket continued hurting with gradually increasing pain. The world started to go dark as spots swam across my vision.

*Ghost Limb Syndrome: When a part of your body gets chopped off and you feel like it's still there. E.G: A man got his right arm cut off in the war. Three years later, he felt an itch on his right arm. He moves his left arm to scratch it and started scratching his side.

[Ty's POV]

I screamed as I watched Adam collapse to the floor and doctors hurried him out of the room. I started to get up but doctors pinned me to my bed. I turned over, put the pillow over my head and screamed into the mattress. I started sobbing and could barely hear anyone exit the room. Ender, please help me.

...

Ender?

...

Are you... gone?

...

Come on! Right when I need you for once!

[Adam's POV]

As soon as everything went black, I felt myself falling.

I fell into a world made of white.

A beautiful woman materialized out of whiteness and began to speak in an angelic voice.

"Adam. It's nice to meet you finally."

"Who are you?" I asked, mesmerized.

"I am your guardian angel, Adam. I've transported your spirit to this heavenly realm. It is much like heaven, or, at least the heaven you were taught as a little boy. That is a myth."

"What..."

"Hush. Don't speak now. Your body has entered the in between phase where your spirit is here, but your body is on earth. In this heavenly realm, whatever you think of appears here. You can create a life here with no fears and no death. If you do not believe me about this realm being your own, try to imagine something." I closed my eyes and imagined Ty, his perfect face. I opened them and saw his brown eyes staring into mine, hopeful.

"Adam. We can be here together." He grabbed my hand hopefully. He brought my lips towards his and pressed them together. His lips were soft and warm. I wanted desperately to stay here with him. Then I remembered. He's not the real Ty. I pushed him away and he looked at me, sadly, and disappeared.

"You have two options to choose from. The first is that you go back to earth and give up this heavenly realm, not to return here when you die next. The second is to stay here and live the rest of eternity with whatever pleases you, and become someone's guardian angel. Which ever you choose, think carefully, for this decision will change the fate of those on earth." She looked at me and I saw her wings unfold from behind her. She smiled angelically. "Choose." She said in a soft voice. I observed her and she was wearing a white gown with blonde hair going down to her feet and trailing a foot behind her.

"I can't leave Ty." I said, firmly. She looked at me, sympathetically.

"Are you sure you would like to return?" The Ty clone appeared beside her and looked at me, almost begging me to stay.

"Yes." She nodded and raised her wrist. I felt an overwhelming white blanket of calmness and serenity cover me and, before I passed out, I manage to ask her a question. "What's your name?" She smiled.

"Derenity. Mayli Derenity."

((Mayli: Ooh! You made me an angel!

Me: A guardian angel. Angel of Serenity and Peace.

Mayli: Cool!

Ty: *sniffle* Thank you for abandoning paradise for me, Adam!

Adam: I knew I couldn't leave you.

Me: Seriously? Adam didn't because he wanted to. He did it because I made him. I'm the author.

Adam: *covers Ty's ears* DON'T LISTEN TO HER, TY!!))
